Kemper PROFILER Remote MK2

Product Description

The Kemper PROFILER Remote is the quintessential foot controller for your PROFILER. The tight integration between the PROFILER and the Remote allows you to control, administer and program without any knowledge about MIDI, or having to delve through cryptic data sheets. The large, illuminated display is designed to be viewed from a distance, and the Remote's housing is built like a tank. Just what the doctor ordered for touring musicians on dark stages!

Five buttons allow you to directly access five different sounds ("Rigs") and entire Performances can be switched using a bank system. Dedicated buttons let you access the tuner, tap in the tempo, and enable the looper effect. The Remote connects via a single Ethernet cable to your PROFILER. No extra power supply is required, and the included cable is seven meters long (21 ft). Longer distances are possible if required via Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) gear and supports even multiple Remotes connected to the same PROFILER.

Up to four continuous foot pedals can control multiple parameters inside your PROFILER. Four buttons switch effects on and off. Setting it up is easier to learn than putting a new contact into your cell phone. Click to choose, assign, done. The PROFILER Remote supports Head, Rack, PowerHead and PowerRack models – MK 1 Series as well as MK 2.

THE LOOPER

There is something magic about loopers. Doesn’t matter if you use them to create layered worlds of sound or to rehearse the complex middle-8 of your last composition. With a single click on a button, the Remote turns into a fully-fledged looper control station. Loops can be recorded, overdubbed and deleted by using the buttons on the board. You can reverse, play at half speed and undo takes. The maximum duration of a loop is up to 2 minutes.

PROGRAMMING REMOTE

Four buttons, individually assignable for each Rig, can control multiple effects at the same time. In order to associate an effect with a button, all you need to do is hold the Effect Button of your choice on the Remote and press an effect module button on your PROFILER at the same time. Done. Status color LEDs give you a great overview on assignments and purpose of a switch/ pedal.

MADE WITH TOURING IN MIND

The Remote connects to PROFILER with a single cable. We are using a Neutrik etherCON connector to ensure the most robust connection possible on stage. By using a powered ethernet hub, distances in excess of 100 m (300 ft) can be bridged with a simple Ethernet cable. Even multiple Remotes could communicate with the same PROFILER simultaneously.

CONTROLLERS AND SWITCHES

The four TRS connectors on the rear panel can be used for expression pedals and switches. Pedals can be used to control volume, wah, pitch or Morphing, which allows to shift single or combinations of continuous parameters - all freely configurable by Rig. Multiple functional assignments can be assigned per expression pedal - for instance, volume + wah + pitch can easily be assigned to the one pedal. The Remote allows you to trigger external MIDI gear by sending program change messages from the MIDI OUT of your PROFILER’s Performance Mode.
